In potatoes we find a mixture (untamed)
of water and fire
inside the earth.
It’s the most concentrated mixture
on the planet.
Even in gunpowder factories, they can’t mix
water and fire.

Because of this, the revolutionary force of potatoes
is greater than that of gunpowder.
In fact,
to augment the force of gunpowder, they need

magnolias.
When someone speaks of gunpowder and magnolias
the implicit message is that of the force of potatoes.
Water and fire.
Solid firewater.
Relentless.
Sea without shipwreck.
Gunfire without wound.
